umns of The IIOrseman:
Jacob Butler, Jr., has recently discov-
cred information which tends to corrob-
crate the story that Godsmith's Maids
dam was got by Old Abdallah. Nothing
ever came to light beyond her ownership
by Daniel W. Norris. New York livery
stable keeper. But now Mr.. Butler has
ascertained that Norris bought her from
Isaac I. Marsh living at Richmond. Sta
ten Island, who purchased her when a
four-year-old from an old gentleman re-
siding at New Brighton, l.. |. Both these
parties affirm that she was daughter of
Abdallah. Mr.. Vcrmeule of Plainfeld,
N. D., who purchased her from Norris,
states that she could trot in 40 I'M

There is no truth whatever in the above
item. In the first place, something has
come to light beyond her ownership by
Daniel W. Norris, so far as this, that
she was bought by him in 27th street of
dealer, name not remembered. This fact
and the evidence upon which it rested was
published in the Middlebury REGISTER
of April y, 1887. Mr.. Norris did not buy
her from Isaac Il. Marsh of Richmond.
Staten Island We have a letter from
Mr.. Marsh stating that he knew nothing
whatever of this mare, though he thinks
he might have kept her one season for
Mr.. Norris. Mr.. Vermeule stated to us
that the statement made, that this mare
could trot in $40, was not true, but that
she could trot in about 3 TO-
In connection, we notice that the last
Cultivator states that Abdallah got the
dams OF twenty-One other stations. in
GLIDING Harold, that have already pro-
duced 2 80 trotters. We should be quite
interested to see this list OF stations. We
do not believe there is a word of truth in
1t. The lying was not done by the Guilt
vator, but it was done just the same, and
is as perfect and complete as any unprin-
cipled man could utter.
In the first place, we haven't the slight
est suspicion that the dam of Harold was
by Abdallah. 1t is an improved pedigree

THE DAM OF S, D. c.

The winning of four races the past
month by :. ID. G. and getting Il record
of , :264 has brought to US many letters
of inquiry about the breeding of his dam.
She was what was known a "the Pun
chard mare. owned by Mrs. Punchard
of Andover, Mass, widow of the man
who endowed the female seminary of that
name in Andover. Mr.. Amasa Clarke,
now large wool dealer at Milton Place.
Boston. "A nephew of Mrs. Punchard.
ived with her when the mare was in her
prime. and has given Us all the informa-
ton We have been able to gain in regard
to her. He writes:
''In regard to the Punchard mare. |
don't know as can give you the infor-
nation required, but will say that Mrs.
Punchard bought her in Andover i'm about
1852 or 1863, perhaps before, of a man
who was taking "A lot of horses through
Andover to Boston. She was the best
road horse ever drove. and would give
81 900 today for one like her
"The only time ever drove her for
time was on the old North AndOver track
in about lS6S-a good day, but very
poor track, the lower end being very
muddy-to IA top buggy in 2 :52, think
but her forte was on the road, 10 to II
miles an hour up hill and down, day in
and day out; never firing and always
ready and eager to go. Never had "A
whip touched to her in any way.
"A few years later. when she was bred
to Len Rodgers. | sent a man TO Vermont
to find her breeding. The man is now
dead, and where she came from do not
know; but he reported that she was out
of IA full blooded Morgan mare, and was
sired by an imported horse called pea
cock Cfrom his peculiar ears, and you
will remember the mare had those very
ears. If recollect rightly he stood for
mares one season only, for he got to be
so ugly that they had to alter him. More
than this cannot tell you, but, as you
know, she was the one that DIR. Saunders
of Boston said had forever spoiled me for
horses, as ! never wanted to drive anoth-
er horse, and think he was right. She
had twins, that died, by Len Rodgers,
two horse colts by Almont Eclipse and
one by Mambrino Wilkes, as you know.

old, by Carenaught (son Of Fearnaught)

not worth the side of the old mare"
We knew the Punchard mare we'll, be-
ing turned over to our care when first
served by Almont Eclipse, and we drove
her good deal for several years. We
can substantiate all Mr.. Clarke says about
her as to her marvellous road qualities,
powers of endurance, immense nerve and
vigor. Can any of our readers in Yer
mont give us information about the horse
Peacock? The mare was one of pair
bought by Mrs. Punchard, and perhaps
the man who sold them to her may yet
be living and can give further knowledge
of her. The Punchard mare stood fifteen
hands, weighed scant nine hundred
pounds, was the color of most Of the

and that in furthercnce of that pur-
pose You are about to commence the

A GOOD ppi.IiO,i.

4 lively debate is being had in Los
Angeles over the legality of the munic-
ipal election held there last Monday.
1t appears that the polls were opened
and closed according to the mandate
of the old law, and not by the new.
On one hand 1t is urged th't this in
vaiates the ection and the present
O icials will hold over, unless they see
f. 10 resign and thus give oppJr-
tn ,ity for the holding OF another
election. On the other h,nd it
is stoutly maintained that be-
cau-e OF this oversight or mistake the
results are not to be vtiated. The
city attorney has decided the election
illegal, but we notice that prominent
attorneys are divided in opinion OF
the matter. We sincerely hope there
| will be no partisan attempts made in
the matter. The election was carried
by the Democrats and they should be
allowed to control the affairs Of the
city. The Sidr is an uDf II ering ad-
vocate Of he right of the majority to
rule. A free vote and a fair count
ought to be sufficient TO settle any
matter submitted to the people. The
ballot should be and is our highert
arbiler. From result thus obtained
there should be no appeal until the
time for another election has legally
arrived. In this particular contest the
Republicans were clearly defeated
soundly whipped by Democratic and
Prohibition votes, and they should
manfully accepted the situation and
proceed like good citizens to honestly
obey the new order of things. Had
the Republicans been victorious We
would have expected the Democrats
to abide by the result. In this free
country the ha 10 is king, and t. sim
perial mandates are to be honestly
obeyed. We have no patience with
the mn who en- cages in fair con
test and then weeps because he gets
whipped.-[ Pasadena Star.
